The Berkeley Human Rights Seminar invites distinguished scholars across disciplines to present their recent research on human rights. Hosting several lectures and a book roundtable each semester, the seminar brings these scholars into conversation with the Berkeley community. The theme for the 2012-13 seminar lectures is "The Recent History of Human Rights."

This seminar features Benjamin Nathans (University of Pennsylvania), discussing "Civil Rights under Soviet Socialism: Revisiting the 1966 Sinyavsky/Daniel Trial." Moderated by Yuri Slezkine (History). 

Presented by the Human Rights Program and the Townsend Center for the Humanities.
